Woody Woodpecker was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I especially liked the ones from the 40’s where Woody seemed a little insane, very similar to some portrayals of Daffy Duck from the same era. This 100 piece puzzle from Whitman, has a copyright date of 1980, a time closer to a more homogenized Woody Woodpecker. That’s Splinter and Knothead on the skateboards. I believe this is Woody’s first appearance on Skate and Annoy. You just don’t see a lot of him on a skateboard.
Alternate shots added 2026.

Ha, seeing this makes me miss being a child and doing puzzles all day instead of going to work.

get a job with skate and annoy.

That ‘fully interlocking’ is quite reassuring, for a jigsaw puzzle.
And Woody is great. Thanks for reminding me.

You’re forgetting the Taco Bell promo from ’99 where he is wearing oversized clothes. There was also a street luge figure in that set.

I’ve seen that blue vinyl figure on the web, but it always has a hook in the top of the head for hanging as an ornament. Never seen a good picture of it though, shoulda known you had one!
